Antigens versus Antibodies "KO'd in Round Three" The Third Line of Defense of the Human Immune System
Seventh graders investigate antibodies, as the body's third line of defense against disease. They discover why antibodies do not defend the body against viruses and create a pantomime of the antibody/antigen/HIV relationship.
Curated OER
Fighting Back!
Fifth graders inspect the basic functions of the immune system and determine how viruses and bacteria invade the immune system. They also explore what happens to the immune system in outer space.
